🔥 Improved Laptop Heatsink Thermal Pads with Copper Heat Conductivity Review

Installed Samsung 970 EVO plus in my new Asus Zenbook 13" and noticed that the temperature was almost always "High" says and sometimes "Too high" in Samsung Magician. The CPU also tends to overheat here, which reduces performance. I mounted this heatsink around the SSD by placing a thin silicon pad on the bottom (non-chip side), a thick silicon pad and a copper heatsink. up. I had to apply a thin layer on the top and bottom. In the end, the metal case was slightly bent. But immediately there…

I work in a computer workshop. We keep seeing new m.2 laptops where the drive just overheats. It seems like the manufacturers just don't care how hot these guys get. This is a simple, thin solution that we can offer our customers. I could see that this might not be suitable for an ultra-thin laptop, but we haven't come across it ourselves. Ultimately, the m.2 will run hotter than ideal in a laptop, but this helps prevent burn-in. Tip: Check the backplate where it goes over the m.2. We've seen…

I have a mini-ITX mobile phone with an m.2 slot on the back. My Samsung 970 Evo SSD immediately reached 60°C in normal daily use. So I bought this kit and connected all the pieces so that it sits between the SSD and the outer case, essentially making the latter an extension of the heatsink. I immediately saw a temperature drop of 17°C, now the idle temperature is 43°C. Wonderful. I should mention that I don't use the included rubber straps as they would greatly reduce heat conduction with the…

After trying different sizes of heatsinks (3mm, 2mm, 1mm), I found to my surprise how 1mm can affect whether the heatsink fits on my laptop. New laptops these days are designed to such tight tolerances that they pack more tech into a small case that only this 1mm heatsink (combined with a 0.5mm hot melt pad) will fit on my Dell XPS 9370 laptop. Obviously the original case is sufficient for an SSD because it is much thinner (maybe 0.1-0.2 mm thick), but its heat dissipation is not that good. I…

I'm admittedly skeptical that this will do anything in a laptop where there's likely little to no air movement to dissipate heat. So I used a 0.5mm spacer and a copper plate as the heatsink, which I then paired with another 2280 size 3mm spacer to the aluminum base of my Lenovo P1 Gen 2 laptop. The same recipe would probably work as well work for the P1 Gen 1 / X1 Extreme Gen 1 or 2 because they are all more or less the same laptops. There's more than enough compression to keep everything in…

I used this on my Dell XPS15 to keep the temperature down and the fans quiet. Another material for my project was a heater tape for chips that get hot (if the heater tape is happy with the bottom chassis, the bottom chassis acts as a very efficient heatsink). The project was a complete success! I had enough stuff to use on my LG Gram laptop's SSD. I didn't notice any subjective change for the LG Gram but imagine that it could extend the life of my LG Gram as it helped my XPS15. I used the…

Gigabyte B550 Aorus AX Pro Mini-ITX motherboard. I have the 970+ in a PCI-e Gen3 slot which is on the bottom of the motherboard where there is no airflow. The drive ran at 53C with light usage, which Samsung software marks as hot. Until recently, the machine ran for about six months with no BSODs or reboots. I started suspecting a hard drive issue when I realized that it most commonly occurs when streaming videos or copying large amounts of data to the hard drive, but I had no idea if it was a…

Copper plates weigh quite a bit and add thermal mass. The instructions in the box are unclear; You didn't specify that they were two different sets of thermal pads. Thinner, hard to say but useful, should make contact with the SSD disk. I understand. I wish there was some kind of marker or directions to remind us of this. The first narrow picture is before the standby installation. You can understand why I bought this. Second widescreen image with additional information after switching to…
